Standing
Words & Music By: Joss Whedon
VERSE:
FF#dimGD/AC/A
You're not ready for the world outside.
FF#dimGD/AC/A
You keep pretending, but you just can't hide.
FCAmBb
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side,
AmGD
But I...
FF#dimGD/AC/A
Your path is unbeaten and it's all uphill.
FF#dimGD/AC/A
And you can meet it, but you never will.
FCAmBb
And I'm the reason that you're standing still,
AmG
But I...
CHORUS:
FG
I wish I could say the right words,
EmF
To lead you to this land.
AmG/B
Wish I could play the father,
CF
And take you by the hand.
Eb/CBbAmAbmEb
Wish I could stay, but now I understand,
CmF
I'm standing in the way...
VERSE:
FF#dimGD/AC/A
The cries around you, you don't hear at all,
FF#dimGD/AC/A
'Cause you know I'm here to take that call.
FCAmBb
And you just lie there when you should be standing tall,
AmBb
But I...
CHORUS:
FG
I wish I could lay your arms down,
EmF
And let you rest at last.
AmG/B
Wish I could slay your demons,
CF
But now that time has passed.
Eb/CBbAmAbmEb
Wish I could stay, your stalwart standing fast,
CmF
But I'm standing in the way...
CmF
I'm just standing in the way...
